Judge removed from long-running gang and racketeering case against rapper Young Thug and others

The judge who has been overseeing the long-running racketeering and gang prosecution against Young Thug and others in Atlanta has been removed from the case after two defendants filed motions seeking his recusal citing a meeting the judge held with prosecutors and a state witness. Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Ural Glanville had put the case on hold two weeks ago to give another judge a chance to review the recusal motions. Judge Rachel Krause on Monday granted those motions and ordered the clerk of court to assign the case to a different judge.
